A new study, based on an experiment at SLAC's X-ray laser, pins down a major factor behind the appearance of superconductivity—the ability to conduct...

If it exists, a type of decay called neutrinoless double-beta decay will show that neutrinos are their own antiparticles and can help scientists determine...

Scientists at Genentech and SLAC have watched a key human protein change from a form that protects cells to one that kills them, providing...

The study could help develop ways to safely transport radioactive actinium through the body to target tumor cells.

His election recognizes a long history of accomplishment that began more than two decades ago at the SLAC Linear Collider.

Rolls-Royce researchers came to SLAC earlier this month as part of a team testing titanium and its alloys, such as those used in engine...

A new device could open new avenues for the generation of high-frequency radiation with applications in science, radar, communications, security and medical imaging.

Paul Fuoss, the new head of experimental design at LCLS, aims to make experiments at light sources here and around the world more productive...

Developed at SLAC’s LCLS, it could also yield new information from hard-to-study samples in materials science, chemistry and other fields.

The 2010 experiment marked a significant step forward in understanding extreme states of matter at the hearts of stars, planets and nuclear fusion reactions.

A better understanding of this phenomenon, which is crucial to many processes that occur in biological systems and materials, could enable researchers to develop...

The studies could lead to a new understanding of how high-temperature superconductors operate.
